Lu Xiaotian did not return to his original place. After walking for more than ten miles, he imitated the terracotta figure and dug a cave at the bottom of the stream. He set up a simple formation outside. With the stream as a barrier, coupled with the formation's restriction, even the Jin Dan cultivators would not be able to easily discover him. For the current him, digging a simple cave did not take long.
After sealing the entrance of the cave, Lu Xiaotian's originally calm eyes darkened. Cooperating with the terracotta figure was a last resort. After all, he was unfamiliar with this place and there were Jin Dan cultivators here, so he did not dare to act rashly. The slave miners did not know much more about the situation here than he did. Even the Qi Condensation supervisors were too weak and their knowledge was limited. However, the Foundation Establishment cultivators should know some inside information. It was just that the Foundation Establishment cultivators could not be easily moved. After all, the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators was very small. Once they were moved, it would alert others. When the time came for a net-like search, he might not be able to hide.
As for the terracotta figure, it was stronger than him and was very familiar with this place. It even knew the secrets of the Jin Dan cultivator, the Blood Gourd Daoist. Obviously, it was not simple. After all, for a cultivator, their own weaknesses might not be known even by their closest relatives. However, the terracotta figure had always been at the bottom of Silent Star Lake. Even if it escaped and came here, it had only stayed a few years longer than him. Could it be that the terracotta figure was around the Blood Gourd Daoist? Or was the terracotta figure an old acquaintance of the Blood Gourd Daoist?
Lu Xiaotian's eyes were uncertain. All confidence was based on strength. At this time, whether it was familiarity with the environment or strength, he was not as good as the terracotta figure. Cooperating with the terracotta figure was bound to be restricted. The terracotta figure was also not a soft-hearted person. He had to prepare for the worst.
In this situation, even if he went out to inquire about information, not only would it be easy to expose himself, but no matter how hard he tried, he would not be as familiar with this place as the terracotta figure. It was better to spend time on improving his strength. After all, he was still injured. Due to the sword qi that entered Zhou Tong's body, the medicinal power of the Blue Frost Nightshade Pill was not completely absorbed. If he wanted to go against the Blood Gourd Daoist that might be behind him and the terracotta puppet that could make a move against him at any time, then it wasn't enough to rely on his current strength.
Lu Xiaotian took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and meditated.
More than a month later, he had completely eliminated the Sword Qi left behind by Zhou Tong's attack. Without the obstruction of this foreign force, the medicinal power of the Blue Frost Nightshade Pill was successfully absorbed. Not only were his injuries healed, but his cultivation had also increased by a level. He was now at the eleventh layer of Foundation Establishment. The tenth level of Foundation Establishment was broken through under the immense spiritual energy of the Jin Dan. The eleventh level was broken through with the help of the Blue Frost Nightshade Pill, so it was a little unstable. However, in the next few years, he was bound to spend most of his energy on the Five Elements Formation, so he wasn't in a hurry to form his core.
"Roar …" Lu Xiaotian was just about to take out the Soul War Elemental Pearl when the Spirit Beast Pouch containing Di Kun suddenly moved.
In the past, the restless one was usually Little Fire Crow, but Di Kun rarely had such a situation.
Lu Xiaotian was slightly stunned, and let Di Kun out.
Di Kun seemed to be a little restless, pacing back and forth. Lu Xiaotian was puzzled at first, but suddenly remembered what was mentioned in the Demon Beast Observation Record. When tamed Spirit Beasts were facing a breakthrough, they would often show signs of restlessness.
Could it be that Di Kun was about to break through to become a Rank Seven Demon Beast? Lu Xiaotian was excited. If Di Kun could become a Rank Seven Demon Beast, it would undoubtedly be a great help to him, and the current predicament he was facing would be easily solved.
Since it was about to break through, it was time for the two Yin Corpse Demon Beasts that he kept for himself to come in handy.
Lu Xiaotian took out the Seven Night Netherworld Ancient Flower and the Yin Baleful Item he obtained from the Late Ghost Cultivator.
Di Kun cried out in joy, and directly swallowed the two items in one gulp. The restless Di Kun calmed down, and regained its previous arrogant look. However, its crystal red eyes flashed with excitement from time to time.
"It seems that digesting these two items for my own use will take some time." Lu Xiaotian put away Di Kun with satisfaction. No matter what, Di Kun was about to break through, which was a great thing. The only bad thing was that this place was not a good place. There were other Jin Dan cultivators watching from the side, and he did not know if there would be any twists and turns.
However, there were some things that were useless to worry about. It was better to take care of himself first. Lu Xiaotian took out the Soul War Elemental Bead. At this time, he still had several Demon Beast Soul Essences in his hands. Fortunately, when he first cultivated the Great Devouring Technique, he was already quite proficient in refining Demon Beast Soul Essences. After using up these Demon Beast Soul Essences, it should be about time.
However, even if he succeeded in refining the Flood Dragon Soul War Elemental Bead, this power was not his own. If he really fought with the Jin Dan cultivators, he would most likely be at a disadvantage. After all, power that came from nowhere was far more reliable than one's own cultivation. Moreover, this kind of Soul War Elemental Bead mostly increased one's physical strength. It would be a great hindrance to deal with the Jin Dan cultivators. Moreover, he was not very good at close combat.
Close combat. That's right, Xun Xiu! Lu Xiaotian suddenly recalled his battle with Xun Xiu. If Xun Xiu had not been far inferior to him in terms of defense, strength, and stamina, the final victor would have definitely been Xun Xiu. Even so, he had still been injured by Xun Xiu. It could be said that it was the first time he had been injured by a Foundation Establishment cultivator after breaking through to the Great Circle of Foundation Establishment.
However, the evil cultivation technique that Xun Xiu cultivated had a strange aura that Lu Xiaotian rejected from the bottom of his heart. However, the current situation made Lu Xiaotian feel somewhat helpless. After all, Di Kun did not know when exactly he would be able to break through. For the time being, he could only rely on himself.
"I'll try cultivating it for now. If it doesn't work, I'll just give up later." After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Xiaotian finally made his choice. Although he did not like the gloomy aura that Xun Xiu cultivated, he had no other choice in a situation where his life could be in danger at any time. As long as he was alive, he might be able to reach the Core Formation stage in the future.
With that thought, Lu Xiaotian took out the few black scales he had obtained from Xun Xiu's storage pouch. At first glance, the black scales looked no different from ordinary scales. However, upon closer inspection, one could see that there seemed to be some tiny pockmarks on them that converged to form a pattern. When the scales were placed together, they seemed to form a whole. Lu Xiaotian's third primordial spirit entered it.
